Review: Grills Like a Pro Without the Guesswork - This grill has been a game changer in my kitchen. The intelligent automatic cooking modes take the guesswork out of grilling — whether I’m doing burgers, chicken, steak, or veggies it hits the mark every time. The stainless steel build feels solid and cleans up easily, and the XL size actually delivers on the “6 servings” claim without crowding the food. It heats up fast, cooks evenly, and gives great sear marks without smoke or fuss. If you want a reliable indoor grill that simplifies mealtime, this one delivers.
Review: Excellent product - This Grill is by far Bar None the best one I have ever used i've been using it since it came in and although the instructions tell you to put a light coating of oil on the panels to help with cleaning later you don't even need it this thing comes perfectly clean with hot soapy water. Hands down like I said the best grill I ever bought it keeps an eye on the food for you doesn't overcook anything in the temperature settings are perfect everything on it is very easy to clean and maintain even if you didn't have time to clean up right away it is amazing how much dirt and crap comes off of it with just soapy warm water I threw my old George Foreman grill out as soon as I saw how this one performed

## Questions & Answers

**Q: why does manual mode only work**
A: If you put the food on the grill before it indicates it is ready to cook it will automatically switch to manual mode.  I learned that the hard way. So the proper steps are:  1. Power on.   2.  Select type of meat/sandwhich.   3.  Press OK. (If you are grilling frozen meat select the frozen food option, which is the snowflake button).  4.  Wait until it warms up which should be indicated by both the slow flashing doneness light on the right becoming steady and a beeping tone.  5.  Put your food on the grill and close the lid.   You will then see the Doneness light at the right turn blue.  It will change color and alarm at each doneness stage.  For example.  When it gets to rare it will beep and the Doneness light will be yellow and progress all the way to red and well done to which it will give you a different alarm continuously until you press OK.   Hope that helps.

**Q: how long to cook a medium burger?**
A: Best things about opti grill is you don't have to worry about it- the lights and beeps will let you know.  We did turkey burgers from frozen to cooked in less than 10 minutes.  We did a chicken sliced in half the other day.  Took 37 minutes- longer since it had bones etc.- but it was the juiciest best grilled chicken I have had in a long time.  The skin was golden brown- almost like fried chicken but less grease....I highly recommend buying this item.

**Q: Has anyone tried cooking sausages with the grill?  I was wondering if you could cook them whole, or if you have to cut them in half?**
A: Cooks sausage and kielbasa to perfection. I always butterfly mine and they come out with the grill marks and cooked all the way through!!

**Q: Will it make a panini Sandwich like our Cuisinart GR-4N 5-in-1 Griddler?**
A: Oh my, yes. And better. So easy to clean. I make very fancy paninis in mine. Perfect every time.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Follow the simple directions, it works perfectly!
*by R***O on February 29, 2020*

We have purchased several of the original smaller Tfal Optigrill for ourselves and family. From freezer to plate in just a matter of minutes and great tasting grilled entrees are the reward. We purchased this larger version and it is awesome! Very handy and quick for everything from burgers, seafood, veggies and now, even bacon. BUT - the user MUST use commonsense, READ and follow the cooking directions. There are specified limitations and what one might call ‘rare” might mean something else to another cook. Overall, we have used our smaller grill fir five tears right more without a single glitch. However, there were a few tricks to learn - like how to remove a “rare” steak while letting the second steak continue to cook to “medium well”. Generally, once the item(s) are in the Optigrill, we simply wait for the beeps and lights to tell us when the food is ready. Simple as that. Before you use the Optigrill the first time, hand wash and dry the two cooking plates. Lightly oil with olive oil, heat for a few moments in the grill, let the unit cool, gently wipe the two heating plates and they are ready for your first meal. Use cooking spray before each grilling. We always hand wash the plates when cool but they are DW safe as us the plastic grease catcher. This is our most used cooking appliance other than stove top and iris a remarkable cooking tool. Just follow the very sensible guidelines and you will be very happy. For us, burgers, salmon burgers, boneless pork chops and paninis are weekly favs. Eggplant, tomatoes, sliced potatoes, sliced bell peppers and portobello shrooms are equally fun to cook. This larger unit has no problem grilling two 18oz sirloin steaks to medium rare perfection, the grill marks make them look like they came out of a steakhouse restaurant. Just remember to watch the THICKNESS limitations ...about 1.5 inches is recommended but we have gone a tad thicker occasionally without problems. Aside from true equipment failure of this product, proper care and commonsense application should give a boost to any kitchen and cook. Highly recommend without any renumeration.
